April 25, Wednesday 8:55am

I’m at my desk, as per usual there’s no work to do. I was chatting with my husband about the progress I’ve made with myself over the years. I’m making lots of friends!! Steven had mentioned the work I did with the counselor really paid off…

I learned to just be me, I would have great success on occasion and the counselor asked me what was different at those times… and it was because I was being Me, freak flag and all… and not trying to figure out the best version of me I could present to someone, which only comes off as slightly fake (at best) and awkward (who would want to be around that!?)

When my chime went off, this was the conversation I was having on Google Hangouts.

How Random is determined

I use random.org to select a months worth of times from 8am – 10pm. I used to have it start earlier and run later, but I was realizing I’m pretty consistent, ie boring, with what I’m doing at the start and ends of my day.

Once the random times are generated, I randomize that list and from there, add them in order to my calendar. I set them up with alerts for the moment. With my phone by my side, its easy to stay on top of catching the random moment from my day.

Personal Random Policy

I dispassionately follow what random.org generates for me.

I honestly describe what my moment is like, what I’m doing, where I am, perhaps some backstory, perhaps what I’m thinking of for the future… I really want to capture that moment – even when it’s boring.
